Okay. Reading so far:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think we should call Antiques Lady "Troy's Mom", and leave it there.


"Timnesia": First great portmanteau of the season.

I'm also with the idea that these "behind the scenes tapes" are probably a lot of the TTA footage (particularly thinking of "entry #####" and "warning").

Suspicious phone call is suspicious.

Also, kind of silly note: Isn't Tim a student actor in the series? It's got to be easy for him to run off some lies.

However, it is pretty reasonable given the events of entry #52 that we're being given hints that Tim/Masky might be a "good" guy. I think we're meant to be trusting them.

Just an acting note, I actually appreciated some little details Jay brought in--namely his pace. You can tell he's nervous because he jabbers on like a madman. I enjoy little subtle things like that.

Oh god this entry is so deliciously awkward.

"HEY TIM HOW YOU DOIN' REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAVED MY LIFE FROM THAT GUY WITH THE GUN"

"Uh, do I know you"

"...oh dude so about that film I mentioned three years ago"

Also, I wonder if Tim is at all confused as to why he has a badly healed broken leg. And a weird mask laying around in his house.

I'm not so sure we can take everything at face value here. Tim may well remember more than he lets on. When confronted by a Jay who's he thought he'd frightened off in another guise, who if he were smarter ought to be leaving well enough alone, what should he do exactly?

And then he coughs up (hah!) more tapes, very conveniently. At this point, he may just be hoping for Jay to go the hell away, and that the tapes he sends him will finally scare him off.

Sound points, all of them. By the way, let it be known that I came up with the term Timnesia. A portion of all further proceeds from Timnesia: The Dark Descent should go towards me.

Seriously, though, if Tim really did have random behind the scenes footage from the days of the Marble Hornets filming that Alex gave him, why didn't he mention it in Entry 15? That by itself adds a lot of weight to the "Tim is duping Jay" argument. And if there are actual tapes, they are likely of Masky's antics.

Not that I wouldn't mind seeing more original Marble Hornets footage, in particular what the fuck happened when Alex straight up walked up to The Slender Man in that Entry (12?) when they were preparing to film.

Considering Masky last turned up post-wipe and then Jessica disappeared I thought Jay might of at least mentioned her. Maybe he didn't want to go into too much detail and scare Tim away, not that he was being super smooth anyway haha.

"Smooth" and "Jay" don't belong together in the same sentence.

"Hey, even though last time we spoke, I was asking you for help in finding Alex whom I hadn't seen in several years and you claimed not to have seen either, and even though we're both keeping that pretense floating here, do you happen to know where his probably-dead-girlfriend's roommate might be?"

That would be unsmooth even by Jay standards.

(English! I can speak it!)

To be fair though, Tim didn't remember the tapes until after talking to Jay, which is why he called him. Tim might have remembered the tapes after the interview in Entry #15 as well, but he didn't have Jay's phone number back then.

Derp is a good fit though.

I'll admit it. I squealed like a fangirl when I saw the entry was posted.

So, first things first. Loved the humor in this. Jay sitting there...day after day...waiting...it's like Troy was picking on us for our own impatience and stalkerish devoted fan behavior. Also, the bit with the sideburns...oh those lovely sideburns.

I'm really torn about Tim. I hear the arguments for him playing Jay like a fine-tuned fiddle, and arguments for him having this apparently new disease known as "Timnesia" (waiting for that to get into medical books...), and both make plenty of sense.

However, there might be an in-between state. If the split personality theory is true, it's entirely possible the Masky persona is subtly influencing Tim, so that Tim doesn't even know. Perhaps that's why Tim called Jay up about the tapes. If there are tapes.

And speaking of those tapes, perhaps those are tapes Tim as Masky stole from Alex, tapes that show further evidence of Alex's EEEVVIIIILLLL during the filming of Marble Hornets. And, as many others have said, provided some footage for TTA and their Useless Cryptic Messages.

Either way, looking VERY forward to the next entry. However, I have my fix, so I won't be having Marble Hornets DTs for a while yet.

Fuel for the split personality/Tim genuinely didn't know theory: Masky causes video distortion more often than not.

EDIT: Well, shit:

So, if Jay accepts that Tim's memory HAS been wiped, would Jay fill in Tim on everything that has transpired? The Operator showing up, Alex acting like Sir Douchealot, Tim adopting the persona of Masky, and totheark's interference in matters? Would that be too much of a mindf*ck for Tim? Maybe have a sit-down with his doctor at the mental clinic with it all?

It'd be funny if that was a genuine glitch.

Or have Jay sit down in the mental clinic until the nice men with the very long-sleeved white coat show up.
